Ingredients (main):

Hydrolyzed corn protein acts by stimulating various proteins, namely keratins, loricrin, involucrin and filagrin. It plays an important role in the structuring of corneocytes to create a protective barrier. Corn protein improves the skin’s ability to retain moisture, thus preventing it from drying out.

Artemia extract is derived from marine plankton, which helps to increase the skin’s immediate and long-term defenses against oxidative stress and UV damage. 

Hyaluronic acid is a protein naturally present in our skin and plays a crucial role in skin cell activity and hydration, as it is one of the most hydrophilic molecules. Acting like a "molecular sponge", hyaluronic acid can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. An abundance of hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, thus filling out
fine lines and wrinkles, improving nutrient absorption, and improving skin density.

Coconut, palm, copra and sunflower oil help to soften, protect and nourish the skin.
